Playoff-Bound Mets Close Out Regular Season With 5-2 Loss To Phillies

PHILADELPHIA -- After the Philadelphia Phillies honored long-time 1B Ryan Howard before the game, their bats came alive for a 5-2 comeback win over the New York Mets.

The Mets led the game 2-1 going into the seventh inning before the Phillies rallied. With two men on and none out, Mets' first baseman Lucas Duda committed a double error, misplaying the ball at first base before throwing the ball past Erik Goeddel, who was covering the bag.

Duda's errors allowed Andres Blanco to score the tying run and set up Cesar Hernandez's go-ahead RBI single.

A sacrifice fly by Jimmy Paredes closed a three-run inning that ultimately made the difference.
